After dropping a small amount of stock online and in-store today, EB Games is set to reopen PS5 pre-orders in store tomorrow for both the PS5 Disc Edition and PS5 Digital Edition. If you pre-order a console in store, you’re guaranteed to get it before the end of July (likely before hand if you get a pre-order in early). As with the September round of pre-orders, you will have to drop down a $200 deposit. If you’ve been missing out on stock drops, and aren’t in a mega rush, this will be the best way to ensure that your name is down to get a PS5.
Just like there was at launch, trade deals will also continue for PS4 consoles. If you’re buying a PS5 disc edition, you can get it for $499 by trading in a PS4 Pro + 1 game ($449 if you’re a level 4 member). If you’re buying a PS5 digital edition, you can get it for $399 by trading in a 500GB PS4 slim + 1 game ($359 if you’re a level 4 member).
We’re also aware of JB Hi-Fi stores getting more stock this week although that will be limited. It’s worth contacting your local store if you’re after a console this week, otherwise, EB Games will be your best bet.
Earlier today, Sony confirmed that it expected stock to be tight until next year due to unprecedented demand and production being slowed due to shortages. With games such as Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade in the next few months an the recent release of Returnal, no doubt we’re going to see another wave of people wanting PS5s.
